Indigenous Peoples
Exploration and Colonization
Food and Nutrition
Revolution
We the People (Civics and Government)
Math (I will be keeping both grades this year, hallelujah)

Third: Volunteers
Last year was a low point for volunteering in the Hansen Alternative Program. Don't forget, we all signed up for this program agreeing to put in our fair share of volunteer hours.
I am determined to improve volunteer opportunities this year.
I will need the following positions filled:
Math Volunteers: every day of the week, people who can come in and do math with our kids.
Reading Volunteers: every day, people who will come in and read with our kids.
Classroom Coordinator: makes sure Mr. Samson has what he needs and asks parents for help, writes the monthly blurbs for the
Math Material Managers: a team of volunteers who can make copies, cut out pieces, make posters, etc. on a weekly basis.

Don't forget! Outside school, you must read at least 100 minutes each week! Please write down what you are writing each day in your planner. Show this to your parents and make sure they sign it each weekend.
